Lt. Gen. Dan Caine's confirmation hearing to lead the Joint Chiefs of Staff was unusually uncontentious, contrasting sharply with other Trump nominees' hearings. While Democrats expressed disappointment over Trump's firing of Gen. Charles Q. Brown, they appeared to support Caine as the best candidate available. Republicans praised him, and it seems General Caine will secure enough backing for approval by the Armed Services Committee and Senate. This was notable as he is expected to perform better in votes than Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who narrowly secured his position with the help of Vice President JD Vance.
Democrats lodged their displeasure that Mr. Trump fired Gen. Charles Q. Brown, but seemed to indicate they viewed General Caine as perhaps the best possible option.
General Caine appears to have enough support to be approved by the Armed Services Committee and confirmed by the Senate, outperforming Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in votes.
